In 1948 the Weapons Effects Classification Board, a committee of military and civilian scientists serving as advisers to the Atomic Energy Commission recommended that a handbook on the effects of atomic weapons be prepared. This volume is the result. This presents a technical summary of the results to be expected from the detonation of atomic weapons (other than information that was kept secret at that time). The energy released from a nuclear weapon detonated in the troposphere can be divided into four basic categories: Blast-40-50% of total energy ; Thermal radiation-30-50% of total energy; Ionizing radiation-5% of total energy (more in a neutron bomb); Residual radiation-5-10% of total energy with the mass of the explosion. Depending on the design of the weapon and the environment in which it is detonated the energy distributed to these categories can be increased or decreased. The blast effect is created by the coupling of immense amounts of energy, spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, with the surroundings. Locations such as submarine, ground burst, air burst, or exo-atmospheric determine how much energy is produced as blast and how much as radiation. In general, denser media around the bomb, like water, absorb more energy, and create more powerful shockwaves while at the same time limiting the area of its effect. When an air burst occurs, lethal blast and thermal effects proportionally scale much more rapidly than lethal radiation effects, as higher and higher yield nuclear weapons are used. The physical-damage mechanisms of a nuclear explosive is millions of times more powerful than conventional explosives.

Rear cover separated and reattached with tape. Cover is worn, torn, taped and soiled. Samuel Glasstone (May 3, 1897 - Nov. 16, 1986) authored over 40 textbooks on physical chemistry, reaction rates, nuclear weapons effects, nuclear reactor engineering, Mars, space sciences, the environmental effects of nuclear energy and nuclear testing. One reviewer describe Glasstone as "perhaps one of the best technical writers of the last century." Samuel Glasstone was born on May 3, 1897. He received two doctorates (Ph.D. and D.Sc.), in chemistry at London University. Glasstone discovered the C-H O interaction in 1937. Perhaps his best known book, co-authored with Philip J. Dolan, was The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, which came out in three editions between 1950 and 1977 (originally titled The Effects of Atomic Weapons). The book, published by the US government, is considered one of the most authoritative texts on the effects of nuclear explosions. One of his other popular books was The Sourcebook on Atomic Energy, published in 1950, and translated in many countries. Includes, in a pocket inside the rear cover, the instructions for the use of the "Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer" (Revised Edition, 1962) . The Effects Computer is NOT PRESENT. When 'The Effects of Atomic Weapons' was published in 1950, the explosive energy yields of the fission bombs available at that time were equivalent to some thousands of tons (i.e., kilotons) of TNT. With the development of thermonuclear (fusion) weapons, having energy yields in the range of millions of tons (i.e., megatons) of TNT, a new presentation, entitled 'The Effects of Nuclear Weapons,' was issued in 1957. A completely revised edition was published in 1962 and this was reprinted with a few changes early in 1964. In addition, laboratory studies, theoretical calculations, and computer simulations have provided a better understanding of the various effects. Within the limits imposed by security requirements, the new information has been incorporated in the 1962 edition. The material is arranged in a manner that should permit the general reader to obtain a good understanding of the various topics without having to cope with the more technical details.

FIRST EDITION. WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING NUCLEAR WAR. Here is a complete and well illustrated survey of the effects of an atomic explosion produced to be a key to protective measures for both personal and propery. For those of us old enough to remember "duck and cover" drills and movie theaters designated as "fallout shelter" this was a primary work in the design and implementation of those procedures.
